This one is not mentioned yet. It's a well known cemetary in the Kingston area.. If my

memory serves me right, it's the Roman Catholic cemetary located on Lindhurst Rd.. (sp)

Re: Help finding cemeteries?!?!?

Have you tried contacting the local major funeral homes that have been around a while to ask, like say: Madden, or Brown Funeral Home?

They may have documents listing the history of such sites, or could direct you where to go to dig up (no pun intended) such info.

Correct. I have a close relative buried there on a hilltop with a nice view of the sea.

Also almost all churches, especially the older ones, have their own cemeteries. There are Jewish cemeteries in MoBay, Falmouth, and Spanish Town.

Not to mention dunga country when yuh goh visit di ole homestead, yuh have GranPa and GranMa buried right in di front yaad by di verandah

Yes that is correct I meant to write Harbour VIew. It had a wonderful view of the sea.

Re: Help finding cemeteries?!?!?

One of the oldest Jewish cemetaries in the Western Hemisphere is located in Kgn.
Dating back to the 1600's. But it's on the grounds of the Red Stripe bottling company so I don't think there is access.

[barosa]

Re: Help finding cemeteries?!?!?

Dudd, et al, thanks for the proper name of that cemetary.. Btw, any of you guys know that Redemption Ground market in Kgn sits on an old burial ground? - There is another old burial site I am aware of which is not too far from the one mentioned. I am not sure if that site also became a market or they built something else there.. It's at the South Eastern location at the intersection of West Queen St and West St.
My little contribution to ancient history..

But there is no acknowledgement of the Taino dead....

We died in silence
with no memorials
our screams forgotten
our rapes ignored .....
